It to a newspaper' privilege and
business to express an opinion on ail
public Issue. That opinion cannot
meet the ideas of all, nd it is useless to
hold that the paper should keep still
because It does n't coincide with you in
your views. Were a paper to be neu
tral on all public Issues you would have
no reiect (or It. Yet some people do
not seem to look at the matter lutelli
gently. A good way to have a paper
express your views at all time Is to
own aud control one.
A Ilsby Dura In Ntw York.
A baby was born in New York the
other day. It was an Astor buhy, and
Is hulr lo 1150,000,000. Mr. Bellamy
New Nation thus figures on the wealth
and Income of this one baby:
At 6 per cent the Interest Is $0,000-
000 per year, or f.10,000 per day for, say,
800 workingdays. It, therefore, would
require 20,000 worklngmen at (1,60 per
day to pay the Interest, and somebody
must pay it Or look a little further.
When this baby Is 21 years old, the
1160,000,000 has doubled twice, and it
to $000,000,000. Then an army of SO,.
000 men must work lo pny this Interest
But we must leave at least $1 nor dav
for the laborer and his fumlly for a sub
sistence. Then it will take an army of
240,000 laboring men to keep this for
tune up, allowing each laborer to be a
man of a family, and Ave to the family,
it follow that no less than 1,200,000
persons are Interested in the fortune of
that 150 times a millionaire baby.
